"Vitality Sect?" Li Hua, on the other hand, was stunned by his words. She had never sent anyone to guard Niu Youde's territory, and she didn't pay much attention to the Vitality Sect's matters either. She didn't expect the Vitality Sect to come here. She stared at him coldly for a while, then said, "No matter who it is!"
Wei Shu nodded. "Alright! Then I shall wait and see. If the Vitality Sect has a foothold here, I will come again to disturb you. "He turned and left without another word.
Li Hua stood silently in the palace.
After leaving the palace, Wei Shu, who was leading a group of people into the sky, smiled. Since Niu Youde liked to play, he might as well pay him a visit along the way.
Not long after they left, a group of nine people flew over from the sky. They broke through the air barrier and charged towards Traversing Moon Palace.
However, the moment they appeared in the sky, several people on the ground flew up and blocked their way.
The nine people immediately stopped in their tracks. They were none other than Linghu Douzhong and the others in disguise.
Seeing the people on the ground surrounding them, Linghu Douzhong immediately felt that something was wrong. They were all men. Traversing Moon Palace did not have men, especially when they were obviously in disguise.
Before they could question them, the people surrounding them waved their hands, and ten more people appeared behind them. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people surrounded Linghu Douzhong and the others. These people were all wearing the Heavenly Court's standard battle armor, and they were all of high ranks.
Linghu Douzhong's expression changed slightly. He saw familiar faces in the middle, and three words flashed across his mind: Personal Guards!
The leader of the group removed his disguise and said calmly, "Linghu Douzhong, I have been waiting for you!"
"Hua Yitian …" Linghu Douzhong's pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth. As a large number of Armor-breaking Bows were aimed at them, he finally realized that he had been tricked. The people were all gathered on Planet Yiyue, and he did not have many people with him. He thought that Lord Qing's secret order was for him to build a secret force, and he was secretly delighted. He did not expect it to be a deadly trap …
Rumbling sounds filled the sky and shook the earth!
Within the main hall of Traversing Moon Palace, several people rushed to Li Hua's side. Someone reported anxiously, "Palace Master, there are people from the Heavenly Court fighting here. Should we send someone to chase them away?"
Silently standing in place, Li Hua lightly waved his silver silk sleeves and raised his hand. "There's no need. The Heavenly Palace has already informed us beforehand and will soon leave on their own. Dogs biting each other has nothing to do with us!"
On Planet Yiyue, the punishment of tens of millions of people was still in progress.
Wen Ze, who was standing on the hill, flipped his hand and grabbed the Star Bell. He contacted someone and put the Star Bell away.
Miao Yi cast a sidelong glance at Wen Ze. Wen Ze noticed, and smiled faintly, "Little Brother, it looks like we still need some time. I don't think there's a need for us to keep waiting here. It seems like it's been a long time since we last drank together."
Since he had already spoken, Miao Yi couldn't very well refuse. However, he still felt that something was off. He wasn't sure if he was being overly suspicious, so he nodded in agreement and extended his hand in invitation. However, before he left, he secretly ordered Yang Zhaoqing to pass down an order to pay close attention to any abnormalities.
Wen Ze left his subordinates at the scene and followed Miao Yi back to the Governor's Manor alone.
When they arrived at the gates of the Governor's Manor, Wen Ze pointed at the words on the city gates and said with a smile, "It's going to be changed into the Governor's Manor soon."
Once they returned to the manor, someone naturally brought them some food and wine. The two of them sat facing each other and drank, chatting about the past in the imperial garden all those years ago.
Miao Yi took the opportunity to ask about Zhan Ruyi. He had heard Xiahou Chengyu grumbling about this matter.
Wen Ze casually mentioned it, not wanting to go into too much detail. He simply said that it wasn't something they should be concerned about.
Halfway through their drinks, Yang Zhaoqing suddenly came to report, "Milord, we received a message from the starry sky wardens. Governor Hua Yi of the Imperial Guard Army has arrived. He ignored all obstructions and directly barged in!"
Miao Yi abruptly stood up and glared at Yang Zhaoqing. "What the hell are they doing by having them stand guard there?"
Yang Zhaoqing anxiously said, "Linghu Douzhong's subordinates are a little timid. They don't dare to stop the Imperial Guard Army. It was our men who saw them nearby who went over to ask about the situation!"
Miao Yi asked, "How many of them are there?"
Yang Zhaoqing replied, "I don't know. Based on reports, it seems like there are only a hundred or so of them. But strangely, they seem to be coming from Traversing Moon Palace. "
Miao Yi immediately turned to Wen Ze and asked in a deep voice, "Governor Hua has arrived personally. Why was there no news of him at all? What is Brother Wen up to? "
Wen Ze smiled and poured himself a cup of wine. "What could I be up to? It was Linghu Douzhong. I also just received news that Linghu Douzhong was dissatisfied with the demotion decree, so he brought a group of his trusted subordinates and attempted to rebel. In the end, they ran into Governor Hua and were executed by him! "
"What?" Miao Yi was shocked. He angrily said, "Impossible! His subordinates are all here. How could they possibly rebel? "
Wen Ze sighed. "Little Brother, facts speak louder than words. There is nothing impossible in this world, and it has nothing to do with you. Just sit down and enjoy your wine. It will only benefit you!"
Miao Yi's expression darkened. "Wen, you set me up!"
As soon as he said this, a group of people rushed in from outside. Bluemoon and the others immediately surrounded Wen Ze. Bluemoon's blade was pressed against Wen Ze's neck.
Wen Ze was unfazed and continued to drink.
Miao Yi shouted at Yang Zhaoqing, "Prepare for battle!"
Yang Zhaoqing hurriedly said, "Milord, Hua Yitian has been stopped by the guards at the gate. They want to meet you outside."
"Take him down!" Miao Yi bellowed angrily. Wen Ze was immediately tied up, and dragged out from behind Miao Yi.
Along the way, Yang Zhaoqing reported again, "Countless guards have appeared at the punishment area. They have already surrounded the place where the family members are staying."
Miao Yi immediately rushed out and almost instantly reached the city gate. He saw a row of guards blocking a dozen people, and the one leading them was Hua Yitian, who stood with his hands behind his back.
Hua Yitian raised his head and looked at the thousands of Transcendence Bows aimed at him from the city walls. He smiled at Miao Yi, who had appeared, and said, "Is this how Governor Niu treats his guests?"
Under the protection of hundreds of guards, Miao Yi growled, "What are you trying to do?"
At this moment, Yun Zhiqiu descended from the sky with her men. Seeing the scene before her, her face paled and she didn't dare to approach.
Hua Yitian nodded at her in greeting, then said to Miao Yi, "Alright! Niu Youde, I have no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, I would have come with such a large force. Your defense won't be able to stop me. Let him go! "He gestured at Wen Ze, who was caught in the crowd.
"If he dares to move, kill him!" This was Miao Yi's reply. He then turned to Hua Yitian and said coldly, "Even the guards cannot come to my place and act as they please. Do you have His Majesty's decree?!"
Hua Yitian simply ignored him and said, "Let's go." Then, he led his men and flew into the sky. Looking at the direction, it was obvious that they were going to the place of punishment.
Miao Yi quickly rushed out. Yun Zhiqiu quickly appeared in front of him and said anxiously, "What's going on? Why are there so many guards here all of a sudden? They're surrounding the residence of those family members!"
As soon as she said that, Miao Yi didn't even have time to ask about the situation. Another group of people descended from the sky. They were Linghu Dou Zhong's subordinates, and all of them had furious expressions on their faces. One of them said angrily, "Governor, why are the guards surrounding those family members?"
Miao Yi ignored these experts and walked up to the man. He grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and shouted, "I'm going to ask you all what's going on with the people you brought here. I told them to stand guard in outer space, but they didn't stop the intruders and let them in. They're already at my doorstep, and their blades are almost at my neck. If I let you all stand guard like this, I'm afraid I won't even know how I lost my head when I fell asleep. Tens of millions of people aren't even as useful as my tens of thousands. What a bunch of useless trash! "
Miao Yi shoved the man away. The group of guards were a little speechless from the scolding. They had received news that it was indeed their men who had let the intruders in. Then, they saw that Miao Yi had captured Wen Ze and realized that something was wrong. One of them asked anxiously, "Governor, what's going on?"
"You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?" Miao Yi pointed at the group of guards and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Gather all the men you can and prepare for battle!"
The group of guards quickly took out their Starbells and contacted each other. They were a little flustered.
Soon, tens of millions of troops arrived and quickly prepared for battle. Miao Yi then led this group of people away.
The army arrived at the scene. From the sky, it could be seen that there were at least tens of millions of guards. They had already gathered the family members of the family members in one place, and their faces were filled with fear. Some of them invoked their arts and shouted to their men in the army, "Milord!"
The men who were called out were furious, but they didn't dare to move recklessly.
Miao Yi pointed at the hovering Hua Yitian and bellowed, "Hua Yitian, what are you trying to do?"
Hua Yitian immediately invoked his arts and shouted, "We've received a secret report. Someone is colluding with the traitors and is trying to escape! I'll call out names now. The generals whose names are called out are not guilty. Take your family members with you! "He didn't care if the other side agreed or not, and immediately shouted," Call out names! "
"Ke Qian, Nu Sanchao, Hu Feng …" On the mountain peak below, a general immediately took out a jade archive and quickly called out names. He spat out names one after another like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
Miao Yi's teeth were bared as he glared at Hua Yitian. He didn't know whether Wen Ze was telling the truth or not, but he still hadn't seen Linghu Dou Zhong, so it was most likely true. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to speak the truth now. If he did, it would incite the anger of the crowd, and a fierce battle would ensue. Even he would be labeled as a traitor.
Naturally, he knew exactly how many of the people here had brought their families with them. Even though there were over a million people here, only about twenty thousand actually brought their families here. Most of the cultivators hadn't married because of their status as guests. Many of them didn't want to marry until they reached a certain level of status.
Miao Yi looked around and saw the people whose names were called out anxiously in the middle of the army. They wanted to take their families back, but they didn't dare to move without the military order.
Those without families naturally had nothing to worry about. Those with families were no longer thinking about whether or not they should fight against the Imperial Guard Army. Instead, they were worried about the safety of their families. The morale of the army was already in chaos, and with so many hostages in the hands of the Imperial Guard Army, they wouldn't be able to do anything even if they fought.
He wanted to know what the Celestial Court was up to. He took out the Star Bell and contacted Xiahou Chengyu, asking her to find out.
"Governor!" A general stepped forward and cupped his fists. "Let them go!" He then changed his voice transmission and said, "Even if it's just a small portion of them, it'll be fine!"
Miao Yi couldn't refuse when he saw the anxious looks on their faces. He could only nod with a solemn expression and continue to contact Xiahou Chengyu with the Star Bell in his hand.
The general immediately waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and call out the names!"
A group of people quickly flew out from the army formation, and then the people whose names were called out flew down one after another. Below them, the Imperial Guard Army checked their transcendence seals one by one.
